After
Mali Demanded UN Peacekeepers
Leave SG Antonio Guterres
Abandons Local Staff
By Matthew
Russell Lee
UN GATE, March
27 – In Mali
when protesters were
teargassed and at
least two
killed, there
was not a word from
the Security
Council or
even for
usually
robo-tweeting
UNSG
Antonio
Guterres, who had
Inner City
Press roughed
up and
banned since,
video here.
The UN
Mission was thrown
out of Mali. Inner
City Press
applied
to re-enter
UNHQ to ask. No
answer.
Now we
publish this:
"Dear
Matthew, Just
to let you
know about our
situation in
Mali. The sad
part is that
the same
people in the
magic circus
of the DMS
will be safe.
For most of us
nothing.
Everything was
corrupted here
and this the
result thanks
to our lovely
and
transparent
hierarchy.

Subject: The
death of
MINUSMA and
consequences To:
Antonio
Guterres [etc:
whole
list]
Dear
Excellency
Secretary
General,
We are writing
to you as our
last resort to
get fair
treatment from
the UN in our
Country,
Mali.
The Mission,
in view of the
closure,
has done
something only
for
Internationals
and only for
those who were
close to the
DMS, Mr. Anton
Antchev and
his girlfriend
the DSRSG Ms.
Daniela
Kroslak.
These
International
Staff
will not have
problems
finding a job
after MINUSMA
and even their
relatives,
already safely
employed,
and crooked
friends. This
is a well
unwritten but
effective rule
in DOS.
Privileges
and nepotism
have been a
constant trend
in MINUSMA and
finally went
to the head of
our Government
who kicked out
the UN who was
supposed to
help us and
not to
increase
corruption.
We were not
expecting
anything good
from Mr.
Antchev,
Godfathers/
mothers
in DOS and his
friends,
considering
that he was
the one who
publicly
offended us on
various
occasions,
requested us
not to board
the UN A/C and
was then PNG
from our
Country.
If he would
have been
removed by USG
Mr. Khare,
instead of
looking for
his
reinstatement,
maybe we would
have had more
respect for
the UN but
currently we
have none. In
the Mission
and in the
public
society.
As Mr.
Khare
considers him
efficient but
for us he is
just a
deficient,
speaking in a
kind of
undermined
English which
is
understandable
perhaps only
in his Country
or with
his similar
felonies. Such
an arrogant
and ignorant
person.
Therefore, we
would be glad
if Mr. Khare
could send him
out asap and
let us have a
fair person to
whom we can
discuss our
future and
compensations
for the loss
of our jobs.
Unfortunately,
we all know
Mr. Antchev,
being a golden
boy of Mr.
Khare, will be
reassigned
somewhere else
to continue
damages,
promoting his
wife and
girlfriends.
We are tired
of being
treated as
second hand
laborers and
this is the
message we
send to all
our Brothers
and Sisters in
Africa.
If you see
anything wrong
in your
Mission, do
not accept it.
Raise your
voice, write,
let your
community know
what is going
on. If
not, you will
pay the same
price as
us.
First
humiliated,
and then left
without a job
and any form
of
compensation.
Thank
God at least
the UN cancer
is over in
Mali."
This as
Inner City
Press, which
reports on Mali
and South
Sudan for example
is excluded
by the UN
Secretariat
from getting promised
answers - for
example to
this question
it posed:
"what is the
UN's response
to the
massacre" - UN
failure.
